This year I’ve chosen the word, wait. I know my one word is not intended to be based on regret but I can’t help but think that there is a level of that here. I’m human and impulsive. I’m weak in many areas and could use something to keep me in check. This is where wait comes in for me. I want to more fully wait on God rather than following human impulse and my own understanding. Lamentations 3:24-26 says it perfectly, “I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for him. The Lord is good to those who hope in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord”. What I hope to accomplish and fulfill through my one word this year is to wait for God’s guidance and purpose for my life rather than act impulsively on my own understanding. I hope to wait for clarity, purpose, guidance, peace, and grace; all the things God has promised to me if I only wait for Him. How precious to know these are things I can have, rather than confusion, lack of direction, chaos, and guilt, if I just wait for Him. I’m excited to see what this word will bring as this year I’m going to become a mom. Guess I’ll just have to wait to see what this journey brings…
